Subject: Protect Medicaid: A Lifeline for the Disability Community

Dear [Representative's Name],

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding the proposed cuts to Medicaid and the devastating impact they would have on individuals with disabilities in our community. For many, Medicaid is more than just healthcare—it is the foundation that allows people with disabilities to live independently, access necessary treatments, and receive critical home and community-based services.

Cuts to Medicaid would mean fewer services, reduced access to in-home care, and increased institutionalization, stripping away the dignity and autonomy of those who rely on these supports. Many individuals with disabilities already face barriers to healthcare, employment, and daily living. These cuts would only deepen inequities and put thousands at risk of losing essential care.

I urge you to oppose any reductions to Medicaid funding and instead advocate for policies that strengthen access to healthcare and services for people with disabilities. Protecting Medicaid is not just about funding—it’s about ensuring that all individuals have the opportunity to live full and independent lives.

Please stand with the disability community and fight against these harmful cuts. 

Sincerely,
[Your Name]

Subject: Protect NIH Funding: Critical for Disability Research and Care

Dear [Representative's Name],

I am writing to express my concern about proposed funding cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the devastating impact these cuts would have on the disability community. NIH plays a crucial role in advancing medical research, developing treatments, and improving the quality of life for millions of people with disabilities.

Reductions in NIH funding would slow down critical research into conditions that affect people with disabilities, delay advancements in assistive technologies, and limit innovations in accessible healthcare. 

Many rely on NIH-supported breakthroughs for better treatments, improved mobility, and life-saving interventions. Without adequate funding, progress in these areas will be stalled, leaving individuals without the medical advancements they desperately need.

I urge you to oppose any cuts to NIH and instead support increased investment in biomedical and disability-related research. 

Please stand with us in protecting the NIH and the vital work it does.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
